The Carrivick Sisters, BBC Young Folk Award Finalists 2010, are are twins Laura and Charlotte Carrivick from South Devon, England, and they are making waves at a very young age in the acoustic music scene. They play a variety of bluegrass instruments (mainly guitar, mandolin, banjo, dobro and fiddle) with vocal harmonies and are both songwriters. Although their background is in bluegrass, their music has a strong folk influence which is evident in their original songs, many inspired by their local landscape and stories.
